My congratulations must go out to Mr. Furey who, yes, beat me out for the first sail. I have some very exciting news from the High Performance Team front.

To all Member Handicappers & Owners,

On Saturday April 2, 2005, Central Council passed a motion to change the maximum penalties for the Genoa and Spinnaker, effective January 1, 2006. The maximum allowable luff perpendicular without penalty on a genoa will be 155% of J. Currently 153%. The maximum allowable mid-girth without penalty on a spinnaker will be 180%. It is currently 183%. Any spinnaker built before January 1, 2006 is grandfathered for the life of the sail. Intrinsic in this motion is the understanding that all spinnaker and genoa penalty parameters will be adjusted accordingly. Attached is a copy of the new tables that will inserted into the Handicappers Manual for 2006.

Regards, Diana Riley Executive Assistant PHRF-LO
